Claire I have only just read your posts re your dad, I am gutted. I have always sung his praises because he is such a genuinely nice fella. I bought my 1st TVR a 2500M, which had been fire, damaged at the factory when Martin Lilley owned the company many moons ago and met your dad a few years later. He and Mike Penny always looked after me when I was having a car built, I always changed things during production (my 390 was the 1st one to have a SEAC dash specially built for me) including a chassis strut moved to fit my mobile phone in the centre console of my SEAC in 89!

If I called to pick my car up he would drop what he was doing to take me to see the latest "secret car" the guys were working on or show me a new colour they were developing, nothing was too much trouble for him. He has always been TVR through and through; he is always so enthusiastic and is one of the few old school guys that are left there.

I have said it before and will say it again he is a credit to TVR Engineering and a top bloke, please give him my regards....truly sad news.

Hey Kev

Only just found this thread (Ian told me about it).

Will drop you an email offline later on today.

Hope the T350 is behaving itself.

Take care

Claire
